Pros

Outstanding benefits, very low stress level (if you have zero ambitions), you can travel the world and pretend you’re working remotely for months.

Cons

No real structure. Everything is outsourced in technical areas. Managers are incompetent. The highest ratio of meaningless titles of Sr. Directors, Directors, VPs, etc. per capita. No strategy or vision. Failed GE third class managers are preferred for technical positions they have no foundations as a promise of having connections with GE. They never had even access to GE engineering, so they are useless. Lack of substance leads way to nonsensical silliness of preaching “soft values” by the incompetent managers as their hideout. They promote only those who do not pose a threat to their cluelessness.

Pros

EDF is a great company to start with. If you are just getting your foot in the door, you can choose to grow, or you can choose to stay exactly where you are at. Great benefits, good culture, and they do their best to take care of employees.

Cons

Pay isn't as high as other companies that do similar work. EDF is usually slow to pull the trigger on necessary changes. Usually it's out of caution and good intentions. The culture is changing slowly, to reflect a more competitive environment.
